yes i have an aftermarket gtr front bumper and i had to trim it for the piping to fit

and the only hole needs to be cut is under the battery , you can see an imprint of a 3" hole just use that as a guide i cut that hole bit out

and on the other side where it used to have 2 pipes going to the stock intercooler i cut that bit open so its nice and wide and you can manouver the pipes

ok the only thing i got now is to do the hole on the side to fit the last pipe. just a question is your intercooler on a angle?? like the top sticks out and at the bottom in comes in. if you know what i mean.

yes the intercooler sits on an angle, well mine does anyway and everyones i seen it sits on a angle, like the bottom is closer to the car and the top sits further away

the brackets at the bottom i got with my intercooler kit, they just need to be screwed to the chassis at the bottom..

and at the top i made a plate

both top bolts screw into the fmic and then you get a plate which holds them both togethor, then another one in the middle of the two which can bolt up to a bolt near the bonnet latch you will see it..

Hey dude just go to Mettams exhaust and tell them you want a 3inch System from the turbo back (down/dump pipe, high flow cat , the works.) and you can choose a nice cannon style muffler or watever you want on the end. They did a killer job on my R33 for $1100.My car basically went from not much wheel spin in the dry to BLAZING and it doesn't hang down like them ricer jobs and isn't going to atract the cops with excessive decibels.

    • Yep it's an r34. Usually people remove struts without removing the front upper control arm (fuca is what i assume this is?) So not sure why mine wouldn't fit. I know on my other car I did a similar job and it wouldn't fit until I removes the ball joint nut even though I didn't remove it prior.   The upper arm doesn't seem to be in the way (the part that's bolted to the chassis. The part that's bolted onto the j arm I'll check that out though.   I was going to compress the spring and put it in with the compressor attached but not sure if it will work  Haven't seen anyone do it.
    • I have a small lip on the boot of the E90 and I've been toying with the idea of trying to mould it in to the boot to remove the gaps. I guess shaving the seams? No idea what the terminology is here.  What I'm wondering is, if it's current double sided taped down, what would I do to more permanently attach it so it makes a good base for the filler? It only has edges so no way to bolt it down unless I add some braces. I've done a lot of fibre glassing in my time so that's nice and easy but I'm not sure what my options are here.  Sorry, this is the best pic I have and I'm 4 million ks from home ATM.  
    • Based on this comment I went googling. A052's in the sizes I want are certainly not cheap, but I couldn't find anything in the V70A anywhere. How much do they run/where do they get sourced from? From what I know (nothing but internet searches and reviews etc) the R888 has pretty much fallen off from anyone's actual use, and the AO52 is the king of "road legal" rubber. Nobody is driving around on their daily for Z221, AO050, DZ03G. At that point, for purely track only tyres - Why not buy actual slicks? Why does nobody actually do that anyway?
    • This an R34? It shouldn't matter though - it should be the same as on any of the others, and by "any of the others" I mean R32, because that is the car that I have had the front end apart on about 50 times this year. Sometimes, it is much easier to get the lower shock eye onto that pin when: a) you have the upper shock nuts backed off a few turns so you can wiggle it a bit more freely. When they are tight the bottom of the strut is much harder to move that _leeeetle_ bit you might need it to to win the fight. b) you have the outer bolt(s) from the FUCA out and so you can move the lower pin around freely too. Then, all you have to do is put the upper arm back on when you've got the rest back together, and this is where jacking under the balljoint can help.
    • One question before I make a bigger mess potentially, do I need to undo the nut on the outer ball joint?
